    Question

    In a family, there are six members named K, L, M, N, O and P. N's age is three times the age of L. The age of O is equal to the total age of L and M. P's age is equal to the total age of K and N. K's age is half the age of M. P is one year elder than O. The sum of the ages of K and M is 45 years. The sum of ages of N and L is 32 years.
    Which of the following is true based on the given information?
    I. The age of P is 41 years.
    II. O is 21 years elder than K.​​​​​

    A.

    Only I

    B.

    Both I and II

    C.

    Neither I nor II

    D.

    Only II

    Correct option is C

    Given
    1. N's age is 3 times L's
    2. O's age = L + M
    3. P = K + N
    4. K = half of M
    5. P is 1 year older than O
    6. K + M = 45
    7. N + L = 32
    From point 4 and 6:
    ​K = 12\frac {1}{2}​M
    So, K + M = 45
    12\frac {1}{2}​M + M = 45
    1.5 M = 45
    M = 30
    K = 12\frac {1}{2}​ × 30 = 15
    From point 1 and 7:
    N = 3 × L
    So, N + L = 32
    3L + L = 32
    4L = 32
    L = 8
    N = 3 × 8 = 24
    From point 2:
    O = L + M = 8 + 30 = 38
    From point 3:
    P = K + N = 15 + 24 = 39
    From point 5:
    P = O + 1 = 38 + 1 = 39
    Final Ages:
    K = 15, L = 8, M = 30, N = 24, O = 38, P = 39
    I. The age of P is 41 years. (False)
    II. O is 21 years elder than K. (False)
    Neither  I or II.
    Thus, correct option is (c).
